Booko

Came across this site when I was looking to buy a book, it does a search across multiple online sites and points you to the place where you can get it for the best price. Got my book from the Book Depository which surprisingly does not charge for shipping even though it’s based in UK (and shipping time was incredibly quick!).

Windows Live Messenger stopped working

Benny Chew — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 06:41:12 +0000

Downloaded and installed the latest security and critical updates for my Windows Server 2003, restarted, and WLM decided to not sign on. The odd thing was that it was actually connected to the .NET Messenger service, but it just won’t load up my contact list nor sign me on (the messenger icon was still swirling around for more than 20mins until I decided to shut it off). No error codes whatsoever and neither did it timeout by itself.

However, WLM seems to run fine after I installed all the updates on my Windows XP laptop which makes it even harder to pinpoint the fault. Tried GAIM but it crashed the moment I added an MSN account and tried to sign on. So I’m back to MSN 7.5.

To top it of, I’ve got a very sore throat and it’s..

.. a scorching 36 degrees now! :(

~~If there’s anyone with similar WLM symptoms and have solved it, do let me know..~~

Edit: It’s now working again, check here for the steps to fix it.
